15 mile run today in the nice cold weather. :-)

I'm not really running under any training plan and just making it up as I go. Today I decided to run 5 under 8:00 then 5 under 7:45 then 5 under 7:30. I really didn't get stressed until the last mile when I pushed it to try and get under 7. The last half mile I was feeling a little clunky.

( I was a little cold throughout the run.)

I'm really curious to go back and see how this run compares to some of my other 15 mile runs.

10 Mile around the Big Loop @ what I wish was marathon pace. I'm getting pretty comfortable with these 10-15 mile runs at around 7:30-40 pace. I think the weather has a lot to do with it though. :-)

This was interesting, I ran the same exact run as yesterday and found out for 302 less beats of my heart over the 10 mile run, I lost an average of 3 seconds per mile. :-) The weather conditions were exactly the same, the only difference is I felt a little tired today.

I didn't break 7:00 on the last mile today but my last two combined were better than yesterday.

Ran Big Loop. Felt a little tired this morning. Temp and conditions were exactly what they were yesterday.

Job 37:1-2

The storm makes my heart beat wildly.

Listen, all of you, to the voice of God,
to the thunder that comes from his mouth.

I don't know why by I hate these type runs!

All I can think about when I run like this is how tire I feel and how bored I am and why am I doing this. I don't know what it is about this LHR stuff but it just drive me nuts.
